david gregory is going to the big house. it's just done. no, this is so silly. come on, i know it's the day after christmas, but, i mean, look, this is a silly little diversion. he was obviously using it for a demonstration. there is no chance that this would result in a prosecution. it's a good opportunity for the washington, d.c. police to point out that it's illegal to possess those sorts of weapons in the district of columbia and i commend them for doing that. but the idea that this could lead to a prosecution is just absurd. >> so the next question, i think you probably ask your lawyers and if you went to the metropolitan police department and asked them about it, there is some suggestion that perhaps they also went to atf, as well. figure the d.c. poce gave them one story, no, you can't do that. atf said, yes, you can. does that help anything, does it make any difference at all? >> that would make a huge difference if you got conflicting advice as a representative of the press. you are certainly not going to be accused of committing a crime if a federal ag

gregory. >> good sunday morning, time is nearly up before we go over the so-called fiscal cliff. senate leaders spent the weekend working on a last-ditch deal and the house comes back today for a rare sunday night session. yesterday afternoon, in an exclusive interview, president obama sat down with me in the blue room of the white house to discuss the way forward and his priorities for a second term. >> mr. president, welcome back to "meet the press." >> great to be here, thank you. >> the obvious question -- are we going over the fiscal cliff? >> well, i think we're going to find out in the next 48 hours what congress decides to do. but i think it's important for the american people to understand exactly what this fiscal cliff is. because it's actually not that complicated. the tax cuts that were introduced in 2001, 2003, 2010, those were extended and they're all about to expire at the end of the year. so on midnight, december 31st, if congress doesn't act, then everybody's taxes go up. and for the average family, that could mean a loss of $2,000 in income. for the entire econo

gregory talked to the president, asked him about his legislative priorities going forward into the next term, he didn't proactively mention gun control. it was sort of added in the discussion afterwards. i think we come back to the question of whether there's a political will to go beyond the rhetoric and have real legislation. >> president obama will have be to willing to spend a long time on this, and all -- probably all of his political capital and just it's going to be a slog. that was what we got from "meet the press" yesterday. it's just clear he knows this is going to be a slog, and he needs people, the american people, to be on his side, or else it's just not going to happen. the media coverage, like you said, has already dropped off. it's not going to continue unless there's a public outrage. >> absolutely. you know he has the rett cal skill to do it. if the president puts his rett cal skill and weight behind it, at least we can keep the discussion going. we have an important thing we need to do, because jimmy williams, today is not just another day in the park. it's not just a
